Question
A child is experiencing persistent diarrhea symptoms and there has been no significant improvement after treatment, causing the parents great concern. This situation may be related to poor gastrointestinal function or catching a cold. It is recommended to provide the child with light, easy-to-digest food and to ensure warmth during the night. If the symptoms do not subside, one should go to the hospital’s gastrointestinal department for further diagnosis.
Answer
For children with persistent diarrhea, the first step should be to adjust their diet, avoiding greasy and high-fat foods, choosing light and easy-to-digest foods, and adopting a small and frequent meals approach. During sleep at night, make sure the child’s abdomen is properly warmed and avoid catching a cold. If the diarrhea symptoms persist without improvement, it is important to promptly take the child to the hospital’s gastrointestinal department for professional diagnosis and treatment.
